After the court ruled in Kim Soo Hyun’s favour against YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, it was not allowed to post content about the actor. But in recent updates, the YouTube channel continued to post content about him despite the court’s provisional stalking measure. After fans reported this, the police were dispatched to its office in Shinsa-dong.
Netizens Report Garosero Research Institute
On June 13, the police were dispatched to the YouTube channel’s office in Seoul after netizens who watched Garosero’s broadcast and reported it to them. The reason for this is in opposite to the court order. It was also revealed that Garosero used Kim Soo Hyun’s name in the video thumbnail before posting it on the live broadcast. After this, netizens who saw this reported it to the police.
The police then arrived at their office and told Kim Se Ui about its repercussions and left with a verbal warning. Though reporters asked for confirmations of the specifics of the warning, the police revealed that they couldn’t confirm. During the broadcast, Kim Se Ui expressed his disappointment with the incident and complained about the police interrupting him during a live broadcast. He then labelled it as ‘suppression of the press.’
The Seoul Central District Court had previously issued a temporary order requiring Kim Se Ui to stop stalking Kim Soo Hyun. Although Kim Se Ui filed an appeal, the court rejected it.

The controversy erupted when Garo Sero released purported evidence regarding Kim Soo Hyun’s romantic relationships, prompting advertisers to cancel their contracts with him. His legal team claimed the evidence was fabricated to damage his reputation and is relying on the National Forensic Service’s analysis to support their claims.
In a decisive move, Kim Soo Hyun’s lawyers secured a court order to seize two properties owned by the head of the Garo Sero Research Institute—luxury apartments estimated to be worth around ₩11.0 billion (approximately $8.07 million). They also initiated legal action to freeze Kim Se Ui’s corporate bank account, aiming to increase pressure on the institute.
